Psalm 106

2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lordor fully declare his praise?3 Blessed are those who act justly,who always do what is right.

4 Remember me,Lord, when you show favor to your people,come to my aid when you save them,5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,that I may share in the joy of your nationand join your inheritance in giving praise.

6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did;we have done wrong and acted wickedly.7 When our ancestors were in Egypt,they gave no thought to your miracles;they did not remember your many kindnesses,and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.[b]8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,to make his mighty power known.9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;he led them through the depths as through a desert.10 He saved them from the hand of the foe;from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.11 The waters covered their adversaries;not one of them survived.12 Then they believed his promisesand sang his praise.

13 But they soon forgot what he had doneand did not wait for his plan to unfold.14 In the desert they gave in to their craving;in the wilderness they put God to the test.15 So he gave them what they asked for,but sent a wasting disease among them.

16 In the camp they grew envious of Mosesand of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan;it buried the company of Abiram.18 Fire blazed among their followers;a flame consumed the wicked.19 At Horeb they made a calfand worshiped an idol cast from metal.20 They exchanged their glorious Godfor an image of a bull, which eats grass.21 They forgot the God who saved them,who had done great things in Egypt,22 miracles in the land of Hamand awesome deeds by the Red Sea.23 So he said he would destroy them—had not Moses, his chosen one,stood in the breach before himto keep his wrath from destroying them.

24 Then they despised the pleasant land;they did not believe his promise.25 They grumbled in their tentsand did not obey the Lord.26 So he swore to them with uplifted handthat he would make them fall in the wilderness,27 make their descendants fall among the nationsand scatter them throughout the lands.

28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peorand ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;29 they aroused the Lord’s anger by their wicked deeds,and a plague broke out among them.30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened,and the plague was checked.31 This was credited to him as righteousnessfor endless generations to come.32 By the waters of Meribah they angered the Lord,and trouble came to Moses because of them;33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God,and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[c]

34 They did not destroy the peoplesas the Lord had commanded them,35 but they mingled with the nationsand adopted their customs.36 They worshiped their idols,which became a snare to them.37 They sacrificed their sonsand their daughters to false gods.38 They shed innocent blood,the blood of their sons and daughters,whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,and the land was desecrated by their blood.39 They defiled themselves by what they did;by their deeds they prostituted themselves.

40 Therefore the Lord was angry with his peopleand abhorred his inheritance.41 He gave them into the hands of the nations,and their foes ruled over them.42 Their enemies oppressed themand subjected them to their power.43 Many times he delivered them,but they were bent on rebellionand they wasted away in their sin.44 Yet he took note of their distresswhen he heard their cry;45 for their sake he remembered his covenantand out of his great love he relented.46 He caused all who held them captiveto show them mercy.

47 Save us,Lord our God,and gather us from the nations,that we may give thanks to your holy nameand glory in your praise.

48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord.

BOOK V

Psalms 107–150

Psalm 107

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;his love endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,3 those he gathered from the lands,from east and west, from north and south.[d]

4 Some wandered in desert wastelands,finding no way to a city where they could settle.5 They were hungry and thirsty,and their lives ebbed away.6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,and he delivered them from their distress.7 He led them by a straight wayto a city where they could settle.8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing loveand his wonderful deeds for mankind,9 for he satisfies the thirstyand fills the hungry with good things.

10 Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,prisoners suffering in iron chains,11 because they rebelled against God’s commandsand despised the plans of the Most High.12 So he subjected them to bitter labor;they stumbled, and there was no one to help.13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,and he saved them from their distress.14 He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,and broke away their chains.15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing loveand his wonderful deeds for mankind,16 for he breaks down gates of bronzeand cuts through bars of iron.

17 Some became fools through their rebellious waysand suffered affliction because of their iniquities.18 They loathed all foodand drew near the gates of death.19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,and he saved them from their distress.20 He sent out his word and healed them;he rescued them from the grave.21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing loveand his wonderful deeds for mankind.22 Let them sacrifice thank offeringsand tell of his works with songs of joy.

23 Some went out on the sea in ships;they were merchants on the mighty waters.24 They saw the works of the Lord,his wonderful deeds in the deep.25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempestthat lifted high the waves.26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;in their peril their courage melted away.27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards;they were at their wits’ end.28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,and he brought them out of their distress.29 He stilled the storm to a whisper;the waves of the sea[e] were hushed.30 They were glad when it grew calm,and he guided them to their desired haven.31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing loveand his wonderful deeds for mankind.32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the peopleand praise him in the council of the elders.

33 He turned rivers into a desert,flowing springs into thirsty ground,34 and fruitful land into a salt waste,because of the wickedness of those who lived there.35 He turned the desert into pools of waterand the parched ground into flowing springs;36 there he brought the hungry to live,and they founded a city where they could settle.37 They sowed fields and planted vineyardsthat yielded a fruitful harvest;38 he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased,and he did not let their herds diminish.

39 Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbledby oppression, calamity and sorrow;40 he who pours contempt on noblesmade them wander in a trackless waste.41 But he lifted the needy out of their afflictionand increased their families like flocks.42 The upright see and rejoice,but all the wicked shut their mouths.

43 Let the one who is wise heed these thingsand ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.
